Are we talking about converting 1 url or 1000 urls? If you 
adjust it can you provide some benchmarks on the speed of
things. E.g. constructing KURL, calling url(), calling path().

I was thinking myself to add a KURL_static class which can be
used to store URLs memory-efficient (e.g. with the possiblity 
to use your own allocator) and which can be easily
converted from/to KURL.
